aversive activity
A positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the undesirable behavior, the client is required to engage in an aversive activity (a low-probability behavior) to decrease the future probability of the undesirable behavior.
A positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the undesirable behavior, the client is required to engage in an aversive activity (a low-probability behavior) to decrease the future probability of the undesirable behavior.
aversive activity
premack principle
One type of positive reinforcement in which the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior is made contingent on the occurrence of a low-probability behavior to increase the lowprobability behavior.
One type of positive reinforcement in which the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior is made contingent on the occurrence of a low-probability behavior to increase the lowprobability behavior.

overcorrection
A positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the problem behavior, a person is required to engage in effortful activity for a brief period. Positive practice and restitution are two types of overcorrection.
A positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the problem behavior, a person is required to engage in effortful activity for a brief period. Positive practice and restitution are two types of overcorrection. `
overcorrection
positive practice
A type of overcorrection procedure in which, contingent on the problem behavior, the client is required to engage in correct forms of relevant behavior until the behavior has been repeated a number of times.
A type of overcorrection procedure in which, contingent on the problem behavior, the client is required to engage in correct forms of relevant behavior until the behavior has been repeated a number of times.
positive practice
restitution
A type of overcorrection procedure in which, contingent on the occurrence of the problem behavior, the client is required to correct the environmental effect of the problem behavior and to bring the environment to a condition better than that which existed before the problem behavior.
A type of overcorrection procedure in which, contingent on the occurrence of the problem behavior, the client is required to correct the environmental effect of the problem behavior and to bring the environment to a condition better than that which existed before the problem behavior.
restitution
guided compliance
A positive punishment procedure used with a person who displays noncompliant behavior. When you make a request and the person refuses to comply, you physically prompt the person to engage in the behavior. The physical prompt is removed as the person complies with the request on his or her own. Guided compliance prevents escape from the requested behavior, and thus also serves as an extinction procedure when the noncompliant behavior is negatively reinforced by escape from the requested activity.

physical restraint
A type of positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the occurrence of the problem behavior, the change agent holds immobile the part of the client’s body that is involved in the problem behavior so that the client cannot continue to engage in the behavior.
A type of positive punishment procedure in which, contingent on the occurrence of the problem behavior, the change agent holds immobile the part of the client’s body that is involved in the problem behavior so that the client cannot continue to engage in the behavior.
physical restraint
response blocking
A procedure in which the change agent physically blocks a problem behavior so that the client cannot complete the response. It is often used in conjunction with brief restraint.
